So forgive my ignorance. I understood your previous comments to mean that the invocation time of git-* on one hand and cat(1) on the other hand had to do with how many DLL's the former needed. Since git-sh-i18n--envsubst needs the same DLL's (i.e. the libc) as cat(1) and *nothing else* it should be as fast as cat(1) and not as slow as git-*(1) once I fix that unfortunate Makefile bug, right? Or is it something to do with the built-in MinGW tools being special in some way (e.g. preloaded?)? In that case benchmarking a hello-world.c for a git-sh-i18n--envsubst (or fixing the linking of git-sh-i18n--envsubst) would make for a better comparison. >> Anyway, if it's no more expensive than cat(1) (which it shouldn't be) >> it probably won't be a problem to use git-sh-i18n--envsubst. > > It *is* more expensive. > > BTW, current ab/i18n fails to compile when NO_GETTEXT is specified in > config.mak and libintl.h is not available. I suggest the fix below. We already discussed this back in August. I came up with what I thought was a more elegant solution, but didn't implement it yet: http://www.spinics.net/lists/git/msg137783.html I can try to come up with one (next weekend or something) and CC it to you for testing. > diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile > index c55baa6..e9ee142 100644 > --- a/Makefile > +++ b/Makefile > @@ -619,9 +619,6 @@ LIB_OBJS += entry.o > ÂLIB_OBJS += environment.o > ÂLIB_OBJS += exec_cmd.o > ÂLIB_OBJS += fsck.o > -ifndef NO_GETTEXT > -LIB_OBJS += gettext.o > -endif > ÂLIB_OBJS += graph.o > ÂLIB_OBJS += grep.o > ÂLIB_OBJS += hash.o > @@ -1539,7 +1536,8 @@ endif > > Âifdef NO_GETTEXT >    ÂCOMPAT_CFLAGS += -DNO_GETTEXT > -endif > +else > +    LIB_OBJS += gettext.o > > Âifdef NEEDS_LIBINTL >    ÂEXTLIBS += -lintl > @@ -1552,6 +1550,7 @@ endif > Âifdef GETTEXT_POISON >    ÂCOMPAT_CFLAGS += -DGETTEXT_POISON > Âendif > +endif > > Âifeq ($(TCLTK_PATH),) > ÂNO_TCLTK=NoThanks > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
